The bolds are the automatic tie-ins. UCF is basically a lock to be last pick, Alabama is basically a lock to be the first pick. You could make an argument for Ok. St. or Oregon for the 2nd spot in the Sugar

I thought UCF was originally picked for the Sugar to play OSU. I think Oregon gets in before Oklahoma and plays Baylor in the Fiesta.

3. If a bowl loses a host team to the NCG, then such bowl shall select a replacement team from among the automatic-qualifying teams and the at-large teams before any other selections are made. If two bowls lose host teams to the NCG, each bowl will get a replacement pick before any other selections are made. In such case, the bowl losing the No. 1 team gets the first replacement pick, and the bowl losing the No. 2 team gets the second replacement pick. If the Rose Bowl loses both the Big Ten and Pac-12 champions to the NCG, it will receive two replacement picks.

A bowl choosing a replacement team may not select:

A. A team in the NCG, or

B. The host team for another BCS Bowl;

Further, when two bowls lose host teams, the bowl losing the No. 1 team may not select a replacement team from the same conference as the No. 2 team, unless the bowl losing the No. 2 team consents.
